Supplication in Prayer Between Matters of This World and the Hereafter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother, the questioner, asks: Is it permissible for a person to supplicate for the needs of this world in his prayer and during his prostration, while leaving out the demands of the Hereafter? And is there a connection between righteous deeds and supplication?
Answer:
One should not limit his supplication to matters of this world, especially in his prayer; rather, he should combine matters of the Hereafter with matters of this world[Al-Baqarah 2:201]. As for one who limits himself to matters of this world, he is among those about whom Allah the Exalted said: "Among the people is he who says, 'Our Lord, give us [good] in this world,'" and He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:200] meaning a share. So it is not permissible for a person to limit his supplication and his prayer to matters of this world. If he limits himself to that, his prayer will be judged by this. Yes.

Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِAnd among the people is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have in the Hereafter no share.
فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ
